Download Download An Annotated List of the Spiders of Indiana 1 Thomas A. Parker, Purdue University Introduction The history of Indiana araneology began in 1847 when Nicholas Marcellus Hentz, the Father of American Araneology, described A galena naevia from Indianapolis (29). Since that time many have contributed to the list of spiders of Indiana. Notable among these contributions are the works of Fox (25), Banks (2), and Elliott (20, 21, 22). Dr. William H. Fox published the first list of Indiana spiders (25), which was based on a collection of a chemistry professor at Purdue Uni- versity, Mr. Frederick C. Test. This list included 79 species of spiders in what would today be 16 families, although family names were not used in this list. Nathan Banks published a preliminary list of Indiana spiders in 1907 (2). This work included keys to the families and genera of spiders and, in addition, a list of species belonging to other arachnid orders. The list of spiders included 148 species found in 16 families, two species of which were described as new to science. The list was based on spiders collected by W. S. Blatchley, Mel T. Cook of Greencastle, W. J. Moenkhaus of Huntingburg, and A. M. Banta who collected spiders in Indiana caves. In 1930 the late Dr. Frank R. Elliott published on spiders of a beech- maple forest near Richmond, Indiana (20). Combining the records of Banks with newly collected material and his beech-maple study, Elliott published a list of Indiana spiders in 1932 (21). This list contained 218 species of spiders found in 20 families. Elliott again published a list of Indiana spiders in 1953 (22). It was based on records in the literature and newly collected material. The work of Lowrie (38, 39) on the spiders of the Chicago area dunes greatly con- tributed to the records of Indiana spiders. Using these records and others, Elliott assembled a list containing 303 species of spiders found in 21 families. No major studies of the spiders of Indiana have been published since Elliott's 1953 list. This paper, then, will enlarge, correct, and update the list of Indiana spiders. The List The present list of Indiana spiders contains 378 species of spiders found in 29 families. The families are arranged following the system used by Kaston (32). The genera are alphabetically arranged in the families and likewise the species in the genera. Nomenclature generally follows 1 Journal Paper No. 3771, Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. 266 Entomology 267 that used by Kaston. Synonyms are included beneath the accepted scien- tific name in cases where name changes have occurred within the last twenty years. The species are numbered consecutively. Collection records are arranged by county with the oldest record pre- ceding all others. The counties are in bold-faced type. Usually the local- ity is given in parenthesis, followed by citations in which the record was found. In instances where no locality was given in the literature or where recent collectors gave no specific locality on their labels, just the citation or date collected and collector's initials are included in the parenthesis. If the record is a recent one, the collection dates and collector's initials are included. Names of collectors may be found in Appendix I. Many of the localities recorded in the older publications no longer exist, having been incorporated into neighboring cities. Other names appearing in the literature were local names and were not formally recog- nized. Appendix II enables the reader to locate such places more accu- rately. Also included in this appendix are a few localities visited by the author or his colleagues for which a more specific geographical description was deemed necessary. The writer's spider collection is housed in the Entomology Depart- ment at Purdue University. All identifications of recent collections were made by the writer. Some verifications were obtained from araneologists in the United States and Canada. Such determinations are credited to these men individually in the text. This list is based on records from the literature and the collection of the writer. This collection represents spi- ders collected during a three-year study of spiders along the Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers, spiders sent for determination through the Cooperative Extension Service, and specimens collected by students and staff of the Entomology Department at Purdue University.

Agric. & Cons . Serv. P.O. Box 1269 Gainesville, Florida 32602 USA ABSTRACT Over a seven-year period, approximately 35,000 spiders representing 26 families, 133 genera, and 234 species were captured in Washington County, Mississippi, by pitfall, sweepnet, vacuum, bag, and hand. Specimens were collected in 10 different habitat types and in four vegetational strata . Old-field habitats yielded the most species (152) and residential lawns the fewest (14) . Considering all habitats sampled, the ground layer produced 111 species, the herbaceous strata 133, the shrub layer 49, and the tree strata 30 species . The sweepnet method of capture obtained 128 species, pitfall 95, hand 61, vacuum 53, and bagging 19 species. The largest number of species were obtained in spring and early summer (maximum of 125 in May), with the fewest in mid-winter (Jan . = 24) . Twenty-one species were considered abundant, 51 common, 67 uncommon, and 95 rare . Additions to the state list of Dorris (1972) number 102 species, for a new state total of 364 species . A comparison with the North American fauna and with other surveys indicates that Washington County is underrepresented both in cursorial forms active on the soil surface and web-spinning forms typical of undisturbed habitats .

C h a m b e r l i n a n d W i l t o n I v i e The frequency with which members of the Agelenid genus Cybaeus appeared in collections made by the authors in the mountainous and timbered sections of the Pacific coast region and the representations therein of various apparently undescribed species led to the preparation of this review of the known North American forms. One species hereto­ fore placed in Cybaeus is made the type of a new genus Cybaeina. Most of our species occur in the western states; and it is probable that fur­ ther collecting in this region will bring to light a considerable number of additional forms. The drawings accompanying the paper were made from specimens direct excepting in a few cases where material was not available. In these cases the drawings were copied from the figures published by the authors of the species concerned, as indicated hereafter in each such case, but these drawings were somewhat revised to conform with the general scheme of the other figures in order to facilitate comparison.

    FRONTENAC PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Frontenac Provincial Park in 2014 (44.51783, -76.53944, 176m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from May 9 – September 25, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed; every other sample was analyzed using the individual specimen protocol while the second half was analyzed via bulk analysis. A total of 3372 BINs were obtained. Half of the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and true bugs (Hemiptera; Figure 2). In total, 750 arthropod species were named, representing 24.6% of the BINs from the site (Appendix 1). All but 1 of the BINs were assigned Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Frontenac at least to family, and 58.2% were assigned to a genus Provincial Park in 2014. (Appendix 2).

  • SOME SPIDERS from NORTHERN LOUISIANA. by NATHAN BANKS
    188 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY misnomer. Mr. Pratt remarked that the collectors for Messrs. Godman and Salvin had no time to study habits, since they were told simply to collect as much material as possible. Mr. Banks presented the following paper : SOME SPIDERS FROM NORTHERN LOUISIANA. By NATHAN BANKS. During the summer of 1891 I gathered a small collection of spiders from the vicinity of Shreveport, Louisiana. Although there are few peculiar or strange species in the collection, still it is of some interest, as so little is at present known of the distribu tion of our spiders. Yet there are several uncommon species, at least uncommon to one acquainted chiefly with more northern forms. Such are the Prodidomus rufus, Tetragonophthalma dubia, Acartauchcnius texana, and Thargalia aurata. Two species quite rare in the North are Histiagonia rostrata and Ballus youngi. About 127 species are recorded in this list, distributed in twenty-one families. The collection is representative of the southern Mississippi Valley fauna. This differs from the South Atlantic fauna in having some southwestern species. Seven to be nsw and are here described a species appear ; few others, principally in the Lycosidse, may prove to be new when the southern forms of this family are better known. THERAPHOSID^E.

A new genus and species of spider (Araneae, Linyphiidae, Erigoninae) from a tropical montane cloud forest of Mexico is described from both male and female specimens, Xim trenzado gen. et sp. nov. A phylogenetic parsimony analysis situates Xim gen. nov. as a distinct genus among the distal Erigoninae. Xim gen. nov. is sister to a clade including Ceratinopsis, Tutaibo and Sphecozone, but differs from those genera by having a high cymbium, large paracymbium, short straight embolus, male cheliceral stridulatory striae widely and evenly spaced, both sexes with a post-ocular lobe, male with two series of prolateral macrosetae on femur I, and the female by having strongly oblong, u-shaped spermathecae.
